Portland-based psychedelic doom/drone duo, TAURUS,
featuring Stevie Floyd of Dark Castle and Ashley Spungin, formerly of Purple
Rhinestone Eagle/Negative Queen, are pleasured to unveil the details of their
forthcoming new full-length, No/Thing. Recorded to two-inch tape at
Portland's Cloud City Studios by iconic sound magus Billy Anderson, No/Thing was
composed throughout the Summer of 2013 and delivers five frequently terrifying
avant doomscapes set within a tranquil nightmare of awkward blackened death
metal riff torrents. Featuring guest vocal infiltrations by Anderson and
Leviathan's Wrest, No/Thing is a spiritually godless journey in
sound, mind and body.
No/Thing Track
Listing (song titles flow together as a parable):
1. No Thing Longing... Human Impermanence
2. Lives Long For Own
3. Set Forth On The Path Of The Infinite
4. Increase Aloneness
5. Receed
All music was
felt by:
Stevie Floyd - guitar, vocal, Hammond organ, ukulele

Days In Doomtown festival in Copenhagen, Denmark. Further details to be
announced in the coming weeks.
TAURUS defines
rehearsed spontaneity; organized mathematical rhythms of the timeless organic.
Their view, not of man but an abstraction. The abstract is real, the actual is
invisible. It is their sense of space and time; seeing through the here and
now, into the vast black deep beyond, the unchanging... Life is an interval.
The cosmic process is hurrying on, crushing life back into granite and methane.
The wheel constantly turns for all Life... yet all Life is temporary. All
creating and recreating. Each movement so important. Each space equally as relevant.
We are dust.
Preorder
packages are currently available at THIS
LOCATION. (All preorders come with an 18" x 24" black
